Marazion: St Michaels Mount 
Description
Located on a small island off the coast of Marazion, linked to the mainland for only a couple of hours a day at low tide, the island was at one time owned by the same Benedictine monastery as the almost identical, but much larger, Mont Saint-Michel in Normandy. Today the island is in the care of the National Trust and the St Aubyn estate - members of the family still live in the castle, though most of the site is open to visitors. At the time of visiting the gardens were closed for the winter. Access during low tide is via a 10-15 minute walk along the causeway, at high tide its by ferry

Getting There
From Penzance you need to take the First Kernow U4 or coaster buses (combined to be half hourly, 10-15 minutes) to Marazion. From Marazion it's a walk out along the Causeway at low tide, or from one of three landing points depending on how high the tide is. Chapel rock is the lowest landing stage, located at the start of the causeway. When the tide gets higher the landing point is on a jetty a little way along the beach. At high tide access is from the harbour which is in the opposite direction from the bus stop in the centre of Marazion - you can check online for tide times and which location to use to access the island.Latitude: 50.117897; Longitude: -5.478057
